Can think of worse places to play football than Bergamo, looks like a lovely city and some of the surrounding countryside and the alpine lakes are beautiful
i've not heard anything of AL's attitude but when a quality player bounces around this much i do wonder if it's them that's the reason for it
General perception in his career so far has been that he's a nice lad but an absolutely terrible trainer. He generally trains badly, gets a rocket, perks up for a few weeks and then reverts, after which point managers give up on him. He's not consistent enough on the pitch to offset his lack of application off it either

Thought the same when it was announced. Also made me rewatch this cracking Copa90 piece on the Lombard Derby

I do find it odd that you get booked for running to your own fans and taking your shirt off as it could incite someone, but you don't if you leave your shirt on and run directly at the opposition fans and celebrate in front of them which does cause confrontation.
That said, Lookman may have celebrated near the opposition fans but I cant see how that was a deliberate attempt to wind them up.
That's an awful decision. If that's a booking you'd get a couple every game in England, he's not even that near the fans and barely even looks at them.
I was there last night and in Manchester last week. It rained constantly yesterday and a poor Salernitana were dismantled by Boga, Lookman and Højlund. It was actually one of Ade's quieter games but he is generally seen as Atalanta's most potent player. Panini choose him as 'shiny' for the Album this year which tells you all you need to know. He is beautifully both footed.
In other news Højlund is the best teenager I have seen. And I saw most of Bowyers games for us, he really was truly outstanding. Højlund however has it all. Strong, rapid, brave and although left footed has a decent enough right foot. He will go right to the very very top. Keep an eye on him.

Weird/poor decision by the ref.
Atalanta currently 8-2 up against Salernitana.
Now tied for 2nd in Serie A top scorer charts.

Now outright 2nd top scorer in Serie A, behind Napoli’s Victor Osihmen.
